Water Quality Certification. The Department of Environmental Conservation (the “Department”) hereby certifies that the subject license renewals for the Indian Point Nuclear Plant will not contravene effluent limitations or other limitations or standards under Sections 301, 302, 303, 306 and 307 of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (PL 95-217), provided that all of the conditions listed herein are met.

Water Quality Certification. 13.11.1 Nothing in this Settlement Agreement is intended to or shall be construed to affect in any way the authority of the State of North Carolina pursuant to 33 U.S.C. § 1341, and related state statutes and rules, such as by limiting the authority of the State of North Carolina to issue, condition, or in any way alter a water quality certification or by limiting the exercise of the State of North Carolina’s discretion. Execution of this Settlement Agreement by the State of North Carolina implies no representation that the requirements of this Settlement Agreement ensure compliance with State water quality standards and other appropriate requirements of State law.
Water Quality Certification. 7. Under section 401(a) of the Clean Water Act (CWA),2 the Commission may not authorize construction or operation of a hydroelectric project that may result in a discharge from the project unless the state water quality certifying agency has either issued water quality certification (WQC) for the project or has waived certification by failing to act on a request for certification within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed one year. Section 401(d) of the CWA provides that the certification shall become a condition of any federal license that authorizes construction or operation of the project.3 In Colorado, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) is the certifying agency.
Water Quality Certification. The license for the Stagecoach Project is subject to the conditions of the February 26, 2010 water quality certification issued by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, under section 401 of the Clean Water Act, as those conditions are set forth in Appendix B to this order.
Water Quality Certification. Certification issued by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) in accordance with Section 401 of the Clean Water Act and state water quality standards.
Water Quality Certification. Prepare an application for a Water Quality Certification (WQC) in accordance with the Massachusetts Surface Water Quality Standards, 314 CMR 4.00. Tasks include preparation of the appropriate state application form, WQC Standard Form for applicable Footprint Bridge projects, supporting documentation, plan preparation, and sediment analysis, when applicable.
Water Quality Certification. Under section 401(a)(1) of the CWA, FERC may not issue a license for a hydroelectric project unless the state water-quality-certifying agency has issued a water quality certification for the project or has waived certification (“401 Certification”). Section 401(d) of the CWA provides that state certification shall become a required condition on any federal license or permit that is issued. ODEQ is the state agency statutorily authorized to issue a 401 Certification for the Project pursuant to the CWA and state water quality laws. By law, ODEQ cannot issue any 401 Certification without public notice, an opportunity for public comment, and coordination through the State Hydroelectric Application Review Team (the “XXXX”) established under ORS 543A.075. As of the Effective Date, these prerequisites have not been satisfied, and no 401 Certification has been issued or proposed for the Project. Subject to the qualifications and reservations stated below in this section and elsewhere in this Agreement, PacifiCorp and ODEQ agree to address 401 Certification requirements as follows.
Water Quality Certification. In some cases, Federal law requires that a Water Quality Certification from the State of Georgia be obtained prior to issuance of a Federal license or permit. Applicability of this requirement to any specific project is determined by the permitting Federal agency. The information requested below is generally sufficient for the Georgia Environmental Protection Division to issue such a certification if required. Any item, which is not applicable to a specific project, should be so marked. Additional information will be requested if needed.
